Text Chapter 345: Winged Man

When Lin Muyu came to the city, Qin Yan and Shen Han came out to meet him together. After taking him into the city, the gate was closed again. It seemed that Min Yulin had decided to abandon the imperial army outside the city, and the number of "monster" legions was increasing. , Surrounding Du Hai and others outside the city, I am afraid that it is impossible to come back.

...

The tiger's mouth was torn apart and bled, there were waves of pain, blood splashed on the city bricks drop by drop, Lin Muyu came to the city gate step by step with Qin Yan's support, surrounded by a group of imperial generals, each of them looked pale.

"Are you all right, Lord Lin Muyu?" Min Zhanying, the commander of the Heavenly Cavalry Army, stepped forward and asked with concern.

"It's okay, thank you, Major General, for your concern."

Lin Muyu's expression was a little slumped, and he came to the front of Min Yulin and said, "Your Majesty, we have lost."

Min Yulin's face was a little pale, and he nodded slightly: "I know... this defeat is not your fault, but mine... General Lin has worked hard..."

As he said that, Min Yulin frowned in pain, and said, "Those... are those monsters really that strong?"

"Um."

After Lin Muyu sat down, he panted heavily, and said: "Those ordinary monsters are roughly equivalent to the cultivation level of the land. They have thick skin and rough flesh, and ordinary swords can't pierce them at all. Later... the monster leader's strength is even stronger. It's outrageous... at least above the realm of the third heaven in the sanctuary, in the words of the cultivation world, it's close to a god..."

"Close to God..." Min Yulin was dumbfounded: "Where did these monsters come from..."

"I don't know either."

Lin Muyu turned around and looked down the city, feeling pain in his chest like thousands of arrows piercing his heart, and said: "General Du Hai is gone, the number one warrior of the empire is gone..."

"uncertain."

Min Zhan said: "General Du Haihai has a cultivation base in the sanctuary, maybe he can break out of the encirclement..."

"Not anymore."

Lin Muyu stood up, pressed his bloody palms on the battlements, looked outside the city, the battle was coming to an end, the monster army annihilated the 2W troops of the Yangwei army at a small cost, and the price they paid would not exceed 2000 people at most .

The sound of war drums stopped slowly, and some of those monsters were devouring human corpses, while others were grabbing armor and weapons. A group of people slowly approached the city, and the leader was the leader of the monster. Carrying a bloody head, he came to the city and raised the head high. It was Du Hai's head.

Min Yulin couldn't help closing his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't bear to look.

"These bastards..."

Qin Yan gritted his teeth: "They actually killed General Du Hai...these beasts..."

At this moment, a messenger rushed over and said in a hurry: "My lord, such monsters have appeared in the south, east, and west of Winterfrost City, and we have been surrounded."

Min Yulin trembled slightly, and asked, "How many of them are there..."

"The total number is more than 50,000."

"Understood, let's go down."

"yes."

...

Min Yulin seemed to have aged for many years, and his eyes became cloudy. He looked at the crowd and asked, "All generals, tell us what we should do at this moment."

Su Wentian's face was ashen, and he said: "We have only half of our troops left. I'm afraid we won't be able to fight any more, so we can only ask for help. It can annihilate the 50,000 monster army in front of us."

Lin Muyu glanced at him and said, "The empire doesn't have that many troops anymore, and there are only recruits. The recruits fighting these monsters is equivalent to sending them to death."

"Then what else can we do, are we waiting to die?" Su Wentian gritted his teeth.

Lin Muyu didn't want to argue with him.

Wang Xi, Xu Ying and other generals were also at a loss. These monsters seemed to have fallen from the sky, and their strength was frighteningly strong, which was really terrifying.

At this moment, a captain said: "Your Majesty, they are here, they seem to be envoys."

"oh."

Min Yulin said: "Let him come here."

"yes."

On the city, densely packed bows and arrows aimed at the city, and below the city was a "human" riding a horse, followed by two "monster" guards. He was not afraid. He lifted his cloak to look at the walls of Winterfrost City, and rode his horse into it. After leaving the city, escorted by a group of human soldiers to the city wall, the corner of his mouth raised with a contemptuous smile.

A group of imperial generals watched the monster at close range, and couldn't help frowning one by one. The monster's body exuded a foul smell, which was indeed like a cockroach.

"It seems that this is the commander-in-chief of the human army." The visitor raised his mouth and smiled lightly.

Min Yulin nodded, and said majestically: "I am Min Yulin, Marquis of the Great Qin Empire, and the supreme commander of the imperial army in Dongshuang City. Who are you, and who are you guys?"

The visitor smiled politely, cupped his fists and said, "My name is Shen Xiang, and I'm here to speak to the Lord on behalf of the Protoss."

"Protoss."

Min Yulin frowned and said with a smile: "Can these ugly things be called protoss?"

Shen Xiang looked at the two monsters behind him, and said with a slight smile, "They...to tell you the truth, they are just the most inferior race in the Protoss, we call them 'armor demons', but they are also the most valiant race in the Protoss I think Jun Hou should have seen it too, the armored demon general under the city is named 'Lei Chong', and he is the marshal of the protoss Lei Chong army."

After speaking, Shen Xiang looked at Lin Muyu, cupped his fist respectfully and said, "This general, Marshal Lei Chong praised you for your outstanding martial arts skills... However, he also asked me to tell you that he will take your head off sooner or later."

Lin Muyu frowned and said, "You don't deserve to be called Protoss."

"That's right."

Shen Xiang smiled and said, "When we were still ruling this continent, you humans called us Demon Race."

"The Demon Race..." Min Yulin trembled all over, and murmured, "Haven't the Demon Race been exterminated by the seal?"

"Is it possible?" Shen Xiang smiled and said: "For tens of thousands of years, we demons have been hiding our strengths and biding our time. What we have been waiting for is this day. Now this day has finally come. You humans should return this fertile land to us."

"What's the purpose of your visit this time?" Min Yulin asked lightly.

Shen Xiangdao: "I ask you to open the city and surrender, and the gods will allow you to be slaves, so you will not die."

"What if I disagree."

"Then just wait until it becomes a pile of loess." Shen Xiang said with a slight smile.

"Bold." Min Zhan shouted, "Take them down for me."

Shen Xiang laughed loudly, and suddenly streaks of black fighting energy gushed out from around his body, he jumped off the city wall, drew out his sword to block the arrows on the city, then floated to the ground, and fled away.

On the city, the two armored demons were chopped into pieces by Lin Muyu, Qin Yan and others, splashing crimson blood all over the place.

...

"What should we do now?" Wang Xi said dejectedly, with a deep look of fear in his eyes.

Min Yulin looked at the crowd and asked, "Generals, what do you think we should do?"

Xu Ying cupped his fists and said, "Junhou, according to my experience, this place is thousands of miles away from Lanyan City, with poor mountains and bad waters, and the weather is capricious. I'm afraid it is difficult for the letter birds we released to fly to Lanyan City alive." In the city, it is almost impossible to wait for reinforcements, the only way to survive is to rush out, the infantry will die, and the cavalry will live."

"The infantry dies, the cavalry lives..." Min Yulin closed his eyes in pain, and said, "I never thought that I, Min Yulin, who had made outstanding military achievements in my life, would end up like this in the end."

Su Wentian said: "We have released at least a hundred letter birds, and I believe Lingnan Province and Tianshu Province will always receive them...Your Majesty, all we have to do now is wait."

Min Yulin didn't speak, and after a few seconds, he sighed and said, "Bring two bowls and some stones. All the officers above the commander-in-chief vote to decide whether to break out of the siege or defend the city for help."

Not long after, both bowls were filled with stones, but obviously there were more people supporting the city and waiting for help. Everyone present had seen the fighting ability of the demons, and I am afraid they would die faster if they broke through.

The entire Winter Frost City fell into a deathly silence. The day before, everyone was obviously still celebrating the victory over the Yihe Kingdom.

...

At night, the cold wind howled through the city, with torches flickering, Min Yulin entered the grain and grass camp surrounded by a group of close guards, Shen Han, who was patrolling outside, immediately went forward and said: "See you, Lord."

"Where is the chief deacon?"

"Healing."

"Take me to him."

"yes."

Before Min Yulin could enter the camp, Lin Muyu had already come out, with white gauze wrapped around his arms, his face was a little pale, and he respectfully said: "I don't know if you are coming, so I am far away to welcome you."

"You don't have to be polite, chief deacon."

Min Yulin said: "I don't know how long the food and grass in the army can last."

"No more than eight days."

"so little."

"Well, the follow-up food and grass have not kept up. I have sent people in the city to exchange gold coins for food for the people, but the total population of Winterfrost City is less than 100,000. The land here is barren and has just passed the winter. The grain in spring is not yet ripe, and people starve to death every day, so there is not much grain for us at all.”

Min Yulin nodded, and said: "The order continues. From today onwards, everyone's military rations will be deducted by half. We have to wait a little longer, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the reinforcements to return."

"yes."

...

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and although everyone was dissatisfied with the halving of rations, fortunately no major incidents occurred.

In the middle of the night, Lin Muyu closed his eyes and practiced. He only ate a piece of pancake for his ration at night, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger. Suddenly, Qin Yan opened the curtain and walked in, with a hasty look on his face: "Brother, something is wrong. The food and grass camp is on fire."

"Fire."

Lin Muyu trembled all over: "Go over and have a look, and order everyone to put out the fire immediately."

"yes."

When they arrived, the food and grass camp was full of flames, Shen Han and others were carrying buckets, but how could they extinguish the raging fire.

Seeing the warehouses of food turned into ashes, Lin Muyu felt chills in his heart, and asked, "Why did it catch fire?"

"A rocket from the sky."

"Heaven."

Lin Muyu looked up, and saw the flames falling from the sky. It was indeed a group of people in the air. On the ground, many imperial troops shot arrows up to the sky, but the arrows were unable to fall when they flew to a height of 100 meters. They could not reach those mysterious people. shadow.

"Oh shit……"

Lin Muyu flew forward, raised his hand to grab a throwing spear, swirled around with a grudge, and suddenly threw the throwing spear out.

"Whoosh."

Throwing the gun and rushing towards the sky with the cold wind, the next moment, a muffled groan was heard from a distance, and then a black shadow fell on the road in the dungeon. Everyone came over with torches and surrounded them, only to find that it was a long man. The human with wings may not be considered human, because the face is very ugly, and it is somewhat similar to the armored demon.

"It's the Demon Race..."

Qin Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Among the troops of the Demon Race, there are troops that can fly... These bastards are clearly trying to starve us to death on purpose."
